Ghulam Mujtaba

Assistant Professor | IEEE Senior Member

I bring a rich blend of academic and industrial experience to the computer vision and deep learning domain. I am a senior member of IEEE. My educational journey began with a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from Gachon Universityin Seoul, South Korea, where I focused on personalized multimedia generation for resource-constrained devices at the Multimedia Computing Systems Laboratory (MCSLab) under the guidance of Prof. Eun-Seok Ryu. I further honed my skills with a Master of Science in Computer Science from Indus University and a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from COMSATS Institute of Information Technology in Pakistan. As a specialized computer vision researcher, I excel in utilizing deep learning techniques for visual analysis, multimedia retrieval, and image processing. I am dedicated to advancing computer vision and deep learning in academic and industrial settings.
